“The most important reason not to build the arch, of course, is that it is ugly and un-American. It is fascistic bombast, a militaristic yawp in front of a cemetery that is meant to be a place of respect and rest for the dead and quiet reflection for the living.”

Trump’s obsession with these vulgar memorials to his own vanity is a reminder of the darkness around him, of his hostility to democracy, his loathing of honor, and his disordered mind. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

UPDATE: The Minnesota Supreme Court greenlit a right-wing bid to allow the appointment of bipartisan election judges at all early voting locations in Minneapolis for the midterms. The Republican request, along with their legal claims, seeks to fuel distrust in elections.

Gee, maybe Kegsbreath shouldn’t have fired the only Naval staff who knew what the fuck they were doing. You know, like Admiral Lisa Franchetti?

Is there one thing…..one thing, this administration doesn’t fuck up? Like literally, every part of this government is incompetent. They’re even making the most powerful military in the world look sad and pathetic

I’m starting to think the US is too big. No one body of laws are being enforced across the country. What is good in the northern states is seen as too liberal in the south. And let’s be honest the south really hasn’t risen above racism. And Washington is so dysfunctional Is this fixable

an Automatic rifle was shoved in his face and nearly blew his head off - it took much talking from the Egyptian professor to defuse the situation. This is IMO the SOP of the IDF

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders SLAMS Apple's "billionaire Apple CEO Tim Cook's corporate greed" for claiming their new price hikes are "unavoidable," after Apple made $112B in profits and spent $310B on stock buybacks in 2025… Disgusting. 😎✨

So well deserved.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Clarence Thomas voted against the same laws that helped protect the very rights his own community fought for, turning his back on decades of progress to side with decisions that make it harder for voters to have their voices heard… WTF is wrong with him?!

Kind of weird that the president is a rapist, and a court reaffirmed it, and everyone knows it, and we're all just going about our days like normal.

So, I read where some police folk were watching the security footage of the shooting. The "shooter" did not fire a shot. One agent fired across the path and hit the other agent. So... to put it more simply... looks like the "shooter" never fired a shot! He just ran through a security checkpoint.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

If you think someone quoting a made up Bible verse understands what he’s doing in the Persian Gulf, think again, says former Navy Commander and MeidasTouch Host Bobby Jones.

Less than three hours after the polls closed, Viktor Orban conceded that he lost. Five years after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, he still falsely claims that he won. Prepare for the midterms by staying informed. Subscribe to Democracy Docket now: bit.ly/4qmEiFz

"The Trump administration cut the agency deeply last year, leaving some forecasting offices short-staffed... “You’re missing data from the Four Corners region, the northern Plains, part of the central Plains, and that’s where the storms were developing,” he said..." www.nbcnews.com/weather/torn...

nbcnews.com'We are missing data': NWS weather balloon changes scrutinized as tornados hit MidwestFor much of Monday, the agency didn't anticipate a tornado threat for Kansas City — then five hit that evening. Did a change in weather balloon launches leave forecasters in the dark?

Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country. Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade. CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 — 650 times the median Apple employee's pay. The greed of union-busters knows no end.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Trump posts that he is signing an executive order to have DHS pay TSA. In effect, Trump just admitted he used the TSA as pawns and could have paid them the entire time.
